* ConflictBall: Sheppard boldly calls Caldwell out on not valuing for his reluctance to rescue Ronon, since it sounds like he [[SomebodyElsesProblem doesn't care]] about the non-Terran members of or non-US military personnel on Atlantis. Whether Caldwell actually thinks so is [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation left ambiguous]], as he never actually ''says'' as much, he doesn't exactly deny Sheppard's accusation either.

* GogglesDoNothing: The first Wraith to come after Ronon is wearing nifty shades for some reason. Subverted when he removes them just as he enters a building, showing that his eyes glow in the dark. Apparently, hunters have eyes modified for InnateNightVision, and the googles protect their eyes in bright light.

Ronon is taken back to a Wraith hive ship and implanted with a Runner tracking device. The Wraith General laughs at him and then releases him in the ruins of his home planet of Sateda (after disabling the Stargate somehow). The rest of the team has happily inferred that this might be the case, and manage to calibrate the long-range scanners to detect Runners. There are seven; they guess that Ronon is the one on Sateda and give no thought to possibly rescuing the other six. It's too dangerous for the Daedalus to mount a direct rescue, but they can get close enough to send in a cloaked puddlejumper. Beckett comes along to remove the tracking device, should an opportunit arise.
